I have various problems with X. It crashes periodically; there is a pronounced screen flicker on my monitor, even though I have forced the vert. refresh rate to 85 hz; I cannot get the DPMS (energy star) settings to work properly. Mandrake 8.0 installed the 3.3.6 version of XFree86 on my system. Since version 4.1.0 is also included with this distribution I cannot understand why this is so. Checking http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status28.html#28 I see that the S3Trio3D (which I have) is specifically mentioned as supported by 4.1.0, but not by 3.3.6 IIRC the Mandrake installer did not give me any option about which version to install; so - 1. why did it install the older version? 2. should I upgrade X? - and, if so, what is the recommended procedure?
